Welcome to the Independence Police DepartmentCrime Prevention Unit Webpage We hope that this is a place where we can educate you on Crime Prevention techniques and answer some questions you may be having about protecting yourself from crime. We believe that by educating the community on crime prevention techniques and by getting citizens involved in crime prevention activities, such as the Neighborhood Watch program, we can reduce the number of crimes in the City of Independence and increase the quality of life for its citizens. Keep in mind, no place is totally "crime proof". You must take steps to reduce your liklihood of becoming a victim of a crime through personal education and taking preventative measures.
